Model this deal

Adjust financing and growth assumptions below. Changes affect only your analysis — the underlying listing is never modified.

Assumptions

Adjust any input — results update instantly.

Property
Financing
Cash invested & reserves

Closing costs, upfront improvements, and initial reserves are added to total cash invested (they raise the cash-on-cash denominator). The annual capex reserve reduces cash flow but not NOI or cap rate — a common convention is $250–$300 per unit per year (≈ $13,200/yr here). It defaults to $0.

Growth
Model improvements (value-add)

Renovation rent premium, operational uplift, and general market-rent growth are counted separately — never combined. A large current-to-proposed rent gap is an assumption to confirm, not proof.

Downside scenario
